Manager commentary - March 2026
Following a very strong start to 2026 for the fund, the onset of war in Iran saw some of those earlier gains eroded during the March selloff. While holdings in energy stocks such as TotalEnergies, ConocoPhilips, and Conterra have made healthy contributions to performance amid surging oil prices, weaker-than-expected results from Reckitt Benkiser and Haier SmartHome hit their respective share prices. Food distributor Sysco also lagged as the market reacted negatively to an announced acquisition. In volatile markets such as these, the team is alert to potential opportunities arising from cheaper valuations.

Common questions about New Ireland High Yield Equity Fund.
The High Yield Equity Fund S3 invests in equities, or shares in companies, with the aim of generating long-term capital growth and a high but sustainable flow of dividend income. Its portfolio includes names such as AstraZeneca, BNP Paribas, Home Depot and TotalEnergies, showing a mix of sectors and regions. The fund is actively managed by State Street Investment Management.
The High Yield Equity Fund S3 is designed for investors looking for equity exposure with an income focus, while still aiming for long-term capital growth. It is intended for a medium- to long-term holding period of at least 5-7 years. This kind of timeframe can help reduce the impact of short-term market swings, although the fund’s value can still fluctuate.
The High Yield Equity Fund S3 carries equity market risk, meaning its value can rise and fall as share prices move. It also highlights sustainability risks, which means environmental, social or governance issues could affect some of the companies it owns and therefore the fund’s returns. Investors should be aware that even over the long term, capital is at risk.
The High Yield Equity Fund S3 focuses on companies that can provide a high, yet sustainable, dividend flow. That means it is seeking businesses that pay regular cash distributions and are expected to keep doing so over time, rather than chasing the highest yield available. The fund’s holdings in sectors such as healthcare, financials and energy reflect this income-oriented approach.
The High Yield Equity Fund S3 is not simply tracking the market; it is an actively managed portfolio built around dividend-paying equities. Its holdings include a relatively concentrated list of large, established companies such as Roche, Merck & Co Inc, Rio Tinto and TotalEnergies. The fund also says it looks for opportunities in volatile markets when valuations become cheaper.
